Gaumer, Ashley - English

Teacher Intro

Ms. Gaumer

I was born and raised in Missoula, MT and am a Hellgate grad myself. I knew I wanted to be a high school English teacher by my freshman year. When I was in high school I participated in Track and Cross Country and other clubs like Model United Nations and various Flagship clubs. My senior year I completed my senior project by going to Costa Rica with the "Sea Turtlers". Upon return I completed presentations about the importance of buying organic foods and effects of American consumerism on developing nations. After high school, I attended college at the University of Montana (go Griz!) and studied abroad twice. I first studied abroad in Cork, Ireland and later completed my student teaching in Kodaikanal, India. After graduation I began teaching in Arlee, Montana. While in Arlee I coached cross country and track as well as headed up our push for MBI. I am beyond thrilled to see my life come full circle and be teaching back at my old high school.
